Somewere on their website, The Henry says they want to make you feel at home. Funny, because before I read this, my immediate reaction when I walked in the door this weekend was that it reminded me of some of the breezy upscale restaurants I grew up with at the Jersey Shore. And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

I came to the Henry for the first time with a party of 4. The ambiance was great- I often get annoyed by brunch spots that are too Gaudy and packed, but the Henry has ample seating, space, and comfort. There is also an outside patio and bar top to further spread out the clientele. The colors are nice and neutral on the inside and it builds a very intimate dining experience. The service was a highlight for the experience. Carson was very friendly and attentive. You know the memes that show people stuffing their face and the staff come to check on them saying, "How's everything, is the food to your liking?" and they can only let out a muffled "MMHMM?" We had that experience here. The only let down we had was with some of the food. The salad and the Club sandwich were great. The wagyu burger could have used seasoning- it felt like the meat itself was not the star of the dish, but only a texture. Its flavor was not brought out. Moreover, the fries were over seasoned and felt quite salty even without any dipping sauce. I enjoy my fries with ranch but the fries were too strong for ranch and it was overpowering. The cheese for the pretzel bites were also lacking in flavor. Lastly the pot stickers could have used a bit more filling because they were literally quite flat. Therefore, it's a 4/5 for me.

Came in on a quiet Sunday afternoon and absolutely loved our visit. Our waitress was so personable and provided great recommendations for us - and they did not disappoint!! The food at The Henry is exceptional!! Kudos to the chef! So flavorful and creative! I am vegan and have been so disappointed at what some restaurants do with vegetables - The Henry chef absolutely knows what they're doing - so much flavor, perfect texture, creative pairings and stunning platings!! The restaurant itself is beautiful with a large interior and ample patio space for Sunday brunch. Could've stayed all afternoon enjoying drinks and the comfortable/welcoming vibe. Absolutely loved The Henry and look forward to trying their other locations as well.

Went there for an event. Perfect place to meet people for a nice chat. It's upscale, but not stuffy or trendy feeling. We sat outside. Nick, our server, provided outstanding service. The main entrance is off the courtyard, not right off the street, although if you only want the bar, then there's an entrance off the street that does not lead to the restaurant. Saved you a few steps. It was a very enjoyable experience. Again, it's upscale casual, and the prices reflect it, but they aren't out of control. The signature cocktails were $19. The food was fine, portions on the smaller side, but OK. For an appetizer, we had pretzels and fondue. $18. You get plenty of them, and they were really good! Perfect for sharing. For the main course, I had the seared tuna chopped salad. $27. The dressing was perfectly light. It was a good salad. Again, the portions are not large, but the quality was good. One of my friends had the steak Diane, $61. She gave it 4 out of 5. It was perfectly cooked. She also had a scoop of ice cream. $5. Not bad for that kinda' place. They have a great payment system I've never seen. There's a QR code on the bill, and you can pay for your part of the meal, or pay for whatever you want to. It's really easy and takes the hassle out of splitting the bill, and makes it easier for the server not to have to do separate checks. Great idea! Very enjoyable experience all around.

Dine LA: Classic Caesar
Ran C.

Came in for Dine LA last Friday and honestly, I like The Henry. Walking in, I liked the vibe. Mix of business and casual but easy going. Busy, but not crazy. Upbeat but not loud. If you're at the bar, fun spot to people watch. Anyway - getting ahead of myself as usual. I parked down the street at the Robertson Public Parking Structure. A few hours was $5 (confirmed on my statement). I don't know how much street parking is or what the restrictions are. For starters, servicew as super friendly. Checked in a good amount and somehow kept everything timed well even after the place started filling up. Don't know if it was all DineLA but as I walked out, I didn't see any empty tables inside. There's outdoor seating and there were some tables available. Started off with the short rib potstickers. These were ok. I wish they were served hotter but even so, the super tender filling had a nice flavor. I'd like to try these again but served hot. For my main, went with the Korean prime skirt steak. Rare. And it came out exactly how I asked. See pics. Rich flavor. A little sweet and a little smoky. Meat was tender and juicy. I would have enjoyed the rice more if the ingredients were diced. Again see pics. It was like I'd have this veggie chunk amongst grains of rice. I enjoyed the taste though. Almost forgot - I never just order the Dine LA offerings. Added a Caesar Salad and the Pretzels with Provolone Foundue. The salad was fresh. Standard. Not over dresssed. The Fondue was a little salty or as hot as I would have liked. This was my least liked dish. The rest was great! Including the dessert. If you're a chocoholic, this one will is a don't skip. Dense. Rich. Told myself I'd just eat half (it was cut in two) but then inhaled it all. With no regrets. Strong start to the DineLA 2026 season. Good food. Great vibes and I left feeling that I'd definitely come back to try their brunch.

Molten Butter Cake

Love this place! Such cute ambience inside, can dress up or go casual. Service is very attentive. Lots of people helping clear plates and also filling water. The caramel butter cake is really good!! Loved the steak with the rice and also the side mac is so delicious !!

Sea Bass Tacos
Sydney Y.

I've had this place on my bucket list for awhile and I'm sad to say that it was a bit of a let down. The atmosphere is really beautiful, and the service was wonderful, but the food is just way too expensive for what it is. I met up with my friend here for lunch on a Monday, and we had no problem getting a table, it wasn't too busy, and I was able to find street parking about a block down. Or you can pay $15 for the lot that's right behind it. I got the Fish Tacos and it was $30 for 2 sad little tacos and a side of quinoa rice. My friend got the harvest salad, added chicken, and a coke. For all that it was almost an $80 lunch. Insane pricing. This place is cute but not $80 cute.

Balcony
Danna K.

Thank you for that note. Yes, the music sound level was better. We are sorry Alex no longer works with you but Chase is also awesome. Parmesan fries are awesome. Next time I'll remember to ask for no green stuff and more truffle oil / salt. Brussels are still awesome. Everyone at the table say the pressed yellowtail is the best.

Bolognese
Cassandra H.

Fast and attentive and personable server and other servers helped too. Very tasty food options even the sushi. The bolognese had an interesting and different presentation, unlike the typical Italian dish. It was good. The highlight for me was the olive oil cake--light, sweet but not overpowering. It was perfect.

Outside seating.
Heidy M.

We were looking for nearby restaurants that offered brunch, we came across The Henry. Metered street parking only and is a bit difficult, or at least on a weekend it is. The Henry is beautifully decorated and has a lot of potential, but the service is the worse we have had in a very long time. Our waitress took our drink order and we didn't see her again for 20 minutes. She mentioned she had too many tables sat at once. This is where management should have stepped in to help her. She took our order, a very simple salad with chicken and a breakfast scramble. FORTY minutes later we received my salad and an omelette. Who ordered the omelette?! Anyway, not sure we will be back, the food was good, but not so good we will be running back. Hope you have a better experience! Cheers.

Martin T.

Big place, lots of seating, great staff, and a cool building. The food is great, and they have quite a variety depending on the season. We came for dinner during Dine LA and the menu was excellent. We'll be back to try their other items and daytime menu for sure.

Angela B.

This experience was like night and day compared to our last visit -- this time, everything was superb! Nick, the manager, was SUPER cool, and our server, Ariana (I hope I got her name right!), was an absolute doll and the definition of professionalism. I decided to try something different from the menu this time, and let me tell you, by the time I said, "Take a picture..." my food was gone! That's how good it was. My mother and I both had the Turkey Reuben -- hers with fries and mine with the apple kale salad. My mom even mentioned to Nick that the sweet potato fries should definitely be added to the menu! My dad ordered breakfast and wanted sausage... no sausage... BACON ONLY! Work on that, The Henry! Thanks to Larissa, we decided to give The Henry another try, and I'm so glad we did. The service, the atmosphere (the music and sunshine were perfect), and the food were all ooooooon point! Sometimes you've got to give people the opportunity to make amends by showing a little grace, and I'm happy we did. This visit completely changed our perspective. We'll definitely be back... promise!

Mac & Cheese
Jenny T.

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated upon arrival. Food: My friend and I ordered a few items to share: Brussel Sprouts - These were deliciously crispy. I would order again. Brie Toast - This was without any prosciutto, and it was still delicious. I love brie, so this was a great choice. Pretzels & Fondue - These pretzels were good, and I love a good cheese sauce. Mac & Cheese Side - This was okay. It could have had a little bit more cheese in my opinion. Service: Service was friendly and prompt. Our food came out as it was ready. Nothing too notable to mention. TL;DR - Good food and decent service

No private rooms or areas, BUT I have seen may people having balloons and celebrations and such in the main dining area =]

Is there a corkage fee? If so, how much? Thanks!…

Yes! There was a corkage fee. I believe it was $10-$15 a bottle, maybe more. I can't remember exactly. But it was enough for me to decide not to bring my own wine since their selection was fairly nice.

We have a long history with this restaurant, having been blown away by Stephanie Izard's flagship…read moreChicago location back in 2011. Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

We came by Girl & The Goat early Friday evening and our only option was to sit at the bar, even…read morethough a full section of the restaurant was empty. The bar was crowded but had a fun atmosphere, as everyone was drinking and talking to each other. They felt a bit understaffed as it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered. We tried their "taking care of bee's knees" which was a gin and honey cocktail, and their seasonal special strawberry margarita. Bee's knees was tasty, it's slightly sweet with a curry after taste which was very interesting. I didn't like the strawberry margarita, it was just way too sweet for me. The glass was heavily salted and it tasted like boozy strawberry syrup, I wish it had more nuanced flavours or something to balance the sweetness. We ordered a few appetizers to split amongst us. Almost all of the food were incredible! Their dishes tend to have a great balance of salt, acid, fat and sweet. Chick pea fritters - This dish had amazing textures and flavour, and was very well balanced. The fried chick pea bites and noodles gave it a great crunch, the pomegranate seeds cut through the fat nicely with a pop of sweetness and the yogurt tied everything together perfectly. Sautéed green beans - This was my least favourite dish of the night. The flavour of the sauce was interesting and paired well with the green beans, but everything was just too greasy. You could see the layer of oil coating the green beans, then to add more cashews on top just made it really heavy. Wish there was some acid to cut through the grease. Naan & dips - I LOVE the carrot hummus. Their dips are incredibly tasty, not only are they super creamy and tasted great. They also add pomegranate seeds, fried quinoa and other toppings that gave it texture and depth of flavor. The naan itself was alright, it was pretty thin unlike traditional naan and didn't have a chewy texture. The fried garlic and green onion bits on top did make it better. Roasted Oysters - Highly recommend this dish! I am not normally a cooked oyster person, but this changed my mind. The oysters were super plump and umami since it was covered in bacon butter. It paired perfectly with the sauce, and the denser biscuit created a great vessel to soak up the fat. The bar top was definitely not enough room for all of our dishes so I would recommend making a reservation if you want a good dining experience.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

The outdoor patio feels like you accidentally wandered into a breezy corner of the French Quarter. Warm lights, casual seating, and that "kick back and stay awhile" energy.

Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times.

The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

This location is a gem! We always use this as a starting point to get our day started if we will be…read morein the LA area.The inside is really nice and there is a lot of seating. It may be difficult to find seating on a weekday in the morning, there are a lot of people here working/studying or just enjoying coffee and a breakfast. Parking is scarce, you may get lucky and find street parking but if that fails, there is an automated ticketed parking structure right next to Verve that is easy to access. For the food and drinks: - Their seasonal drinks are always fun. I had the pumpkin pie matcha and it was very flavorful and creamy. Although it was more a fun dessert drink, the matcha gave me energy that I needed throughout the day. - Breakfast burrito: Consistently good. I like how they put pinto beans unlike most breakfast burritos. - Classic Avocado Toast: Great! I like their avo toast because its not too large or they dont pile it on huge with a lot of toppings which makes it hard to bite into. The pickled radishes and shallots add a great tangy zing to the toast.

So very modern LA. Street parking is vague and leaves you wondering if you will earn a ticket. There is a reference to "permit", but nothing was crystal clear as I recall.

We had to park around the corner in a really disgusting area that was full of trash, dog poop and smelled really terribly of urine and sewage. That being saidddd! The Shepard's Pie was sooo good, it is my new favorite. Served in a skillet, it was a big, piping hot portion that's enough for 2 whole meals! It paired absolutely beautifully with a pint of their Bike Shed Brew. I felt like I was in London, spot on! The only thing I would add is some HP Sauce and/or Tabasco. I waited 10 years to finally check this place out and it was absolutely worth it! I'd love to bring people, my girlfriend even said it would be an amazing wedding venue, we just wish they had a better parking situation.

I ordered the Steak Nachos for $32. $22 (Nachos) + $10 (Steak). It was a generous portion. I checked the bill, and it was straight up. I gave our waitress a generous cash tip. The waiters and waitresses were great. What irked me was that, when I looked at my credit card statement, they overcharged me. It was probably because I clicked NO TIP, yet I tipped the waitress. Wow! That's disappointing. I'm never gonna take my friends here. Parking sucked, but not impossible. But you gotta walk the ladies on the darker areas of the street.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.
